• Constructing a new crossing at Glover Road, including new three-metre-wide multi-use paths in both directions and increased clearance over the highway
• Reconfiguring the existing 232nd Street Interchange and the replacement of the existing crossing, including three-metre-wide multi-use paths in both directions and increased clearance over the highway
• Replacing the existing railway crossing immediately east of Glover Road, including increased highway clearance
